Tumours and Cancer, Fact or Fiction. Do Alternative Medicines and Herbal Remedies Really Work against Tumours and Cancer?

By Grahaam Maartin

Are alternative medicines and herbal products as good as they say and do they really work? It's a big topic But the results seem to say an emphatic yes! Are you frightened by the possibility of getting cancer? Does the word "cancer" upset you? Cancer, Its a powerful word isn't it? A powerful source of 'natural' help is available to you now, it goes by the name Graviola!

Many medical practitioners and doctors although not all of them, scorn the use of herbal remedies and alternative therapies, labelling them as 'fringe' or 'quack' medicines, often because when they were at medical school the were not taught about them as they were not on the curriculum. Even though some of these alleged crackpot ideas showed a tremendous potential

Many of these alternative methods and herbal products have such a long history of use, that many professional studies and in-depth research has been carried out on them. One of those in particular "Annona Muricata", better known as Graviola is showing tremendously promising results.

In 2001 the Health Sciences Institute or HSI had a feature article with the headline "Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer". It goes on to say. "Colon and breast cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy". That name of that tree was Graviola! OK, you ask, so what exactly is Graviola?

Well, Graviola is a tree which is indigenous to the Amazon Rainforests and some other parts of South America. It's not really a huge rainforest tree, in fact it is a relatively small evergreen "shrub" (in Rainforest terms) growing to only 5 to 6 metres tall. But in terms of having cancer cell fighting properties, it's an absolute giant! I don't want to bore you here, but anyone interested in beating cancer just might want to know a bit more about this potential 'life saver'.

Much of the research already completed has found that plenty of the annonaceous acetogenins or phytochemicals (chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the seeds, stem and leaves of Graviola tree are cytotoxic against various cancer cells and tumour cells. In herbal medicine, all these plant parts are used.

That is the very good because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) The HSI article says the tree has been studied in over 20 laboratory tests since the'70s, and it has shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, colon, prostate and breast cancer Be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Selectively hunts down and kills cancer cells leaving healthy cells unharmed, unlike chemotherapy.

Also a plant screening program back in'76 by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola demonstrated active cytotoxicity against cancer cells, various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing dynamo. Herbal products have been used worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth, (well for thousands of years at least.) If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article in full here. It's a real eye opener!

So, could Graviola help you in the fight against cancer? It appears that the answer is a resounding yes! - 31372
